Desktop Rover

Does anyone else have one of these Desktop Rover tanks ? They are really fun just to drive around on your desk especially if you have lots of junk to conquer. I'm curious if anyone has two, as it's got a built-in laser tag game but I've never been able to try it since I only have one.

i saw some people do a lazer tag demo at a mall once.... it's pretty cool... and they demonstrated that small camera thing and made it go into an empty room....
anyways, laser tag was pretty cool.... seems like a real "war" u got two tanks chasing each other and the tank getting chased is trying to position itself to fire, but the other tank's hot on it's tail... looks fun, but i haven't tried it....

Yep, I have the cam too - but it's in a Mini-Z now!

Are you going to stock any tanks, and if so how much will they cost?

Sure - if people are interested - how many people would be interested? We could certainly give a % discount off of the normal price.

I have the desktop rover too, found one at a great price!! But, it's the older model that doesn't have laser tag built in.

Tons of fun, I take it to Mini-Z practice at the LHS and drive over everyone's cars when they're working on them in the pits LOL

About how fast are they? I know it is not very fast but is it more than just a crawl?

Not very fast at all, they are geared for climbing rather than speed. A 1.0 BC-G will outrun them.

They are $59.99 when you buy them direct. They are even more fun with 2 (laser tag!) or with the telecommander kit (PC control!).
